I have a B.S. in Elementary Education and K-12 Art Education. My husband and I have home schooled and graduated both daughters, ages 20 and 22. Early in 2021 we began to struggle with comprehension and recall. At first I thought it was burnout, but after several months we had an opportunity to leave the city of Billings, MT for vacation in a more rural area with only minimal cell phone coverage and no 5G. The brain fog cleared within a couple of hours, along with exhaustion, muscle fatigue, sleep disturbances, dizziness and headaches. That was when I began to suspect the connection with the roll-out of 5G. Since then, we've been searching for help with the increasing severity of these symptoms, trying different methods of shielding, health support, reduction of exposure, mold elimination, heavy metal detox, etc. We have been unable to attend church services for several years, though we meet our pastor once a month for communion, privately. We pushed through the brain fog, fatigue, etc. until 2 1/2 years ago, when we were forced to give up weekly horse riding and piano lessons.  At that time I also realized it was unsafe for me to continue driving, as my abilities to focus and process were seriously impaired. Though we graduated our daughters and are confident in their abilities to continue their education at some point, it is currently impossible. They have never been well enough to have jobs or learn to drive. Leaving the house is very difficult, making an obvious social barrier.  We are currently working with a specialist in bio-resonance and have come to the conclusion, through this therapy, that our emf sensitivities are not caused by some other injury, such as mold, but are just a part of who we are. I am also convinced that many people may be misdiagnosed, based on similar symptoms, when the cause is our society's sudden immersion in a dense electromagnetic smog.  In summary, 5G has isolated us from family, friends, and church community, deprived us of the ability to work, learn, and recreate, and consumed thousands of dollars.  It hurts my heart to think of how many people may be suffering similar or worse circumstances, being misdiagnosed with mental health illness or labeled with disorders, and feeling despair over failing health, when the answer is so clear; we're being poisoned by 5G!
